A charming cottage having been the subject of a full refurbishment recently, situated in the heart of one of the most sought after villages to the west of Chichester, with a beautiful rural outlook over the cricket grounds and beyond to the rear.

A front porch leads to the sitting room which enjoys under floor heating along with a wood burner. Areas of exposed brick work and wooden beams bring character and charm to the property, with 2 storage cupboards offering useful space. A door leads to the modern fitted kitchen with superb tiled flooring again benefitting from under floor heating. The Rayburn cooker sits proud with a range of drawers and cupboards around it, further supported by a twin ceramic hob and a double Belfast style sink, integrated fridge and a combi oven / microwave. There is an adjoining utility room with a further sink and an upright fridge/freezer along with a washer / dryer. The conservatory is set off the kitchen, making an ideal space for dining, having a full complement of blinds and a fan along with doors opening to the garden.

From the landing, the master bedroom is served by an en suite bathroom with a shower over the bath, a WC and sink. There are 2 further bedrooms - one with exposed beams and fitted wardrobe cupboards. The shower room includes a WC and sink as well as a heated towel rail. Throughout the house there is newly fitted double glazing and the property is fitted with mains gas heating.

The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with flower beds and a fenced boundary. There is a timber shed and a patio area. To the front of the property there is a brick Well set to the edge of an attractive south facing shingle area being ideal for outside dining, along with some mature planting and hedges to screen from the off street parking area allowing for 2 cars.
